GR-α/GR-β ratio is decreased in serum of obese asthmatic subjects. Serum was obtained from lean (BMI < 25 kg/m2), overweight (BMI < 30 kg/m2), obese (BMI < 35 kg/m2), and morbidly obese (BMI > 35 kg/m2) asthmatic subjects. (A,C) ELISA was used to assess protein levels of GR-α and GR-β. (B) Pearson correlation between BMI and GR-α/GR-β ratio. n = 43 non-obese subjects (n = 18 lean, n = 26 overweight), n = 57 obese subjects (n = 44 obese, n = 13 morbidly obese), Mean ± SE; *P < 0.05.
